A lot of groups have a meeting point at the same place but it was quite easy to find the right tour operator. The guide was excellent. She walked us through the crowds at the entrance. Her English was excellent and she provided just right amount of information. Next time I would order also guided tour for Forum Romanum.

Our Guide, Alessandro Nasonte. was excellent. He obviously has a love for the City of Rome, as well as for history. He brought his own tablet to share pictures of meaningful things to add even a greater experience to the magnificent ruins and surroundings that were in front of us. His tour added so much more than if we had simply walked the grounds ourselves. He was able to answer questions that were asked of him. Our guide kindly was careful with the few people that had to be careful of too many flights of stairs. Make sure to wear your most comfortable walking shoes though because the tour lasts about three hours and covers a lot of ground. Job well done by our tour guide and by Get Your Guide. Suggestion: plan to arrive at the meeting place early because parking and finding the place to meet takes longer than you’d think. Also, bring sunscreen. Our guide was kind enough to share his with the few that needed it during our walking tour.

Sarah was a great guide. Compassionate and appreciated her willingness to move the group into the shade when possible. Funny and very knowledgeable. She came off as a former history teacher with a wealth of information. The tour was informative and interesting. We came on a hot day so definitely pack water. There are a few fountains with cold drinking water to refill your canisters. Would recommend.
